I see counseling as a process in which you and I having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the clients' problems and to develop solutions. I work with clients in a variety of formats, including individually, as couples and as families. I also conduct group therapy. I have counseled clients of varying ages and in both school and clinical settings working together toward a desired positive outcome. I have worked to improve the lives of people since 2002, first as a teacher, later as a counselor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas.

Jackie Potts-Powell
I provide people of all backgrounds with a grounded, nonjudgmental space to be genuine, slow down, and look honestly at who they are and how they arrived here. Therapy with me is not about fixing who you are—it’s about understanding yourself deeply enough to decide where growth is needed and what no longer fits your life today. As a licensed therapist in Louisiana and Texas, with over two decades of experience, I actively challenge clients in thoughtful, respectful ways to increase psychological flexibility. This includes learning how to reframe and reconstruct long-held viewpoints, examine patterns shaped by life history, and shift perspectives that may once have been protective but are no longer serving you. Your past matters—not as something to stay stuck in, but as a guide for recognizing what you are ready to keep, what needs to change, and what belongs in the archive rather than your present lifestyle. I believe meaningful change requires honest self-reflection and full acceptance of who you have been, without shame or avoidance. From that grounded place, we can identify your current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like for you now, and move intentionally toward it—whether that involves radical acceptance, empowered decision-making, or actively choosing a new direction. I work best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the therapeutic process. My clinical strengths include relationship dynamics, empowerment, identity development, perspective-shifting, and helping clients navigate periods of transition, breakthrough, or recalibration with clarity and purpose.

Freddie Amos
Do you feel stuck in the same patterns no matter how hard you try to change? Maybe anxiety is keeping you on edge, your inner critic is constantly running, or you're carrying stress, guilt, or self-doubt that feels impossible to put down. On the outside, you may look like you're managing everything just fine, but internally you're exhausted from holding it all together. You don't have to navigate that alone. I believe healing happens when we begin to understand the patterns that are keeping us stuck and learn new ways to respond to life's challenges. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you're carrying, gain practical tools, and move toward lasting change. I believe you are the expert on your own story and already possess many strengths that can support your healing journey. Taking the first step toward counseling takes courage, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater peace, confidence, and emotional well-being. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith integration as part of the counseling process.
